Ublock Origin Lite (MV3) vs AdGuard MV3 Chromium Extensions
NotHereToPlayGames replied to a topic in Web Browsers
This doesn't really prove a pro or a con either way. A "block" is a "block", the ad site does not show a DNS record for either uBO (MV2) or for Adguard (MV3), BOTH PERFORM THE BLOCK 100%. -
But if we are keeping track, that's one "for" 'all necessary updates' and two "against". I can think of at least two that were "ran off the forum" that were intentionally sticking with XP x86 SP2 and were both deadset "against" the 'necessary' SP3.

You can't go by age alone. I was working in the defense industry in the 90s and was working on computers that could easily outperform stuff from 2010 or so, maybe even 2015. But no, they couldn't compete with something brand new off the shelf nowadays. If you really want to get down to it, there were "game consoles" in the 2015s or so that could blow away top-of-the-line "computers" today. But you cannot run something called "PCMark05" on a GAME CONSOLE.

Generally speaking, to me they only reinforce "gut feelings". But since we don't live on the same street and couldn't witness each other's real-life computers, we both wanted to "prove" we were the SLOWEST. I was convinced that I was. You were convinced that you were. At least, yeah, that's how it looks from here.

I can agree to that. This whole "pinewood derby" only began because you didn't believe me when I told you that your computer is faster than mine. And "see what you started", we now have MSFN Members dusting off computers they haven't used in months or even years all to *WIN* with the *SLOWEST* we can find. ANYBODY can go out and buy a NEW computer to win as the *FASTEST*. Granted, we all have our priorities on what we spend our money on, lol.

I went through this with 360Chrome. It's unlikely that a value will be found that works for "everyone". -
I wasn't "interested" in installing the requirements for PCMark05, but did anyway, lol. Just to prove what a gigantic POS this computer is. I don't mind taking the SILVER and conceding the GOLD.

I doubt that I will. I really *HATE* being on this *POS* computer. But I did get as far as finally getting a PCMark05 score:

Okay, PCMark05 is failing a test for me for Web Page Rendering. Says I need to enable "font downloading" - I don't even know where the H3LL that is... Digging... edit - found it, it's an "Internet Zone" setting that I disabled intentionally so long ago that I forgot I even disabled... Running PCMark05 again... Fingers crossed for an actual SCORE this time. I cannot find that Pentium III, the closest I found was the below and YOU ARE HEREBY THE *WINNER* Unless you have a DESKTOP. Laptop scores are notoriously LOWER than desktop scores - but not by this much of a margin. We have a new WINNER! (yes, the SLOWEST computer WINS this race)

Ugh! I'll likely pass. I hated having to "update" this POS just to run PCMark05. It's your MU/WU under Windows XP thread that was "bumped" earlier, not everybody wants ALL updates applied to their computers! Thanks.

If you "want" one, you will find a way to "afford it". I personally can "afford" one, but hate hate hate Corvettes! Did I miss/overlook the download link for PCMark04? I'll try again with PCMark05 but intentionally not run them all at once. See if I can get a final score that way.

There is also an updated version (I use at home) called "T-Clock Redux".

Was it under "required" or "optional"? I technically update my XP systems manually and not via MU/WU. But I thought MU/WU offered "optional" updates that not everybody felt the need to install. I could be wrong, been TWO DECADES since I've used MU/WU.

Yes. The E2200 is "faster" (*MUCH faster*) than the Intel Atom N450. The "sarcasm" is that here at MSFN, the oldest and most ancient CPU may be the "slowest", but the owner of it is the *WINNER* in this game. I look at it like a CORVETTE. Anybody that wants one can go out and buy one! Keeping a 1928 Ford Model A "on the road" is the real WINNER.

Actually, I take that back. I think my POS Atom Intel N450 is still the WINNER.

Your CPU score is "half" of my POS Acer Aspire One. In the world of MSFN, that makes YOU the WINNER, MSFN really taylors to the POS World and not the world of UCyborg's or my primary computers. Here at MSFN, it's all about who can "make use" out of these SSLLLOOOWW pieces-of-sh^t computers.
